in high blood pressure sometimes edema develops due to retention of fluid and electrolyte which increases pre- load on heart ,,,so diuretic is used to decrease pre- load on heart by increasing renal out put..
Typically Diuretics are prescribed to lower blood volume to reduce edema(swelling) or blood pressure.
These drugs are given to prevent excess water retention in patients with associated right heart failure
1 example is liver failure. Is the liver is not functioning properly a build up of bodily fluids results. Diuretics allow the fluids to pass to the body
Because by removing water they lower total blood volume. Smaller volume of blood in the same blood circulatory Plumbing = lower blood pressure.
Depending on what caused the congestive heart failure. Normally diuretics such as caffeine are dangerous as they can lead to cardiac arrest for weak hearts.
Diuretics are grouped into three main categories: thiazide diuretics, loop diuretics, and potassium-sparing diuretics. Each category works by different mechanisms to increase urine output and reduce fluid retention in the body. Thiazide diuretics are commonly used for treating high blood pressure, while loop diuretics are often used for reducing excess fluid in conditions like heart failure or kidney disease. Potassium-sparing diuretics help maintain potassium levels while promoting diuresis.

If the question is "can you give two different diuretics at the same time?" than the answer is yes.
loop diuretics loop diuretics The Potassium sparing kind. IE. Hydrochlorothiazide with triamterene or "Dyazide."
diuretics, also called water pills
Loop diuretics work by restraining the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter. Thiazide diuretics restrain the sodium-chloride transporter. Carbonic anhydrase inhibiting diuretics work by restraining bicarbonate transport.
There is loss of potassium salts when you use diuretics.
No.
Yes, especially B6, so be careful if you are already taking diuretics.
In most cases it has been noted that loop diuretics worsen the condition of the kidney in diabetes insip.
Some people feel unusually tired when they first start taking diuretics
